so the snake can
A. scare away predators
B. its better for killing there pray
and C. a snake would look weird with a round or square one
The above answer is complete and utter rubbish ! A snakes tongue is forked, because it has evolved as a 'direction finding' sense. When a snake flicks out its tongue, microscopic scent particles stick to it. The tongue is withdrawn into the mouth, and inserted into the Jacobson's Organ - an area of sensitive nerve cells. This is so sensitive - it can detect the microscopic variations from one half of the forked tongue to the other !
As for the tongue being '...better for killing 'there' prey...' The tongue of a snake is not venomous and plays nopart in the killing of its prey ! Nor does it 'scare away predators' ! - Snakester1962 (Supervisor)
